Shameless Self Promotion

I've been reading Fast Company Magazine for almost ten years. It's normally a good read.

However...

The folks that they flog in the magazine are becoming a lot different than the run of the mill managers and folks I know. I'm either getting older. True. Or, Fast Company is out -3 sigma.

Most of the Fast 50 folks they flog don't represent people I know or even would want to know. Also, most Fast 50 seem to be into Shameless Self Promotion land. They land a good spread and share their gospel with FC and bingo, they're super heroes.

I wonder how many really are doing well.

Does Fast Company vet these folks and their doables or as Tom Peter's says: braggables.

It seems that a lot of these folks are phonies. They got a good to great idea, but they haven't executed. The rubber hasn't met the road with their idea.

Or, I can be out of it. Who knows?

Or even better, Fast Company call me sometime so I can flog my dream and hopefully become Fast 51.
